Default Kumho XS vs. Falken 615k? Opinion?

So i've heard mixed reviews about the two tires, and i'm torn between which one I want to buy. They will only be used for autocross..not for daily driving. I usually autocross about 5 times per season..and i'm sick of using my street tires. The price difference between the two is $10. Can i get some opinions on which ones you guys prefer..thanks!

The RT-615K just came out and I doubt that many people have tried them yet...

A lot of people are. It's excellent in dry, not so great in wet.

Depending on what size you need, you should also consider the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec, Bridgestone Potenza RE-11, Yokohama Advan Neova AD08, and Toyo Proxes R1R. If you're using 215/45-16, don't forget that 205/45-16 will work equally well, which opens up the RE-11 and R1R.

Lol the mustang took off with the 615k stickers still on the tires. Nice to see an actual improvement though. A comparison with the current top dog steets tires would be nice as well.
